10-32 x 7/8 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is chosen when a flat point should seat on a shaft flat while the nylon insert resists backing out. A prepared flat on the shaft gives the point a full-width seat and improves holding contact without penetration. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Handle and control retention often benefits from a headless screw that can be serviced from the socket end.
In-house pellet installation supports uncommon flat point nylon-insert requirements when a standard plain screw is not enough. Cold Headers can quote the requested flat point nylon-insert configuration without changing the point style to a biting design. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
